Stenhousemuir (Home)
- Gary Naysmith’s Stenhousemuir are unbeaten in their last 3 home games (Won 2, Drawn 1) and currently sit 2nd in League One with 61 points from their 34 matches this season.
- The side are defensively solid and have conceded just 12 goals in 17 home games this season.
Alloa Athletic (Away)
- Alloa Athletic are still in the hunt to push the top two and currently stand 3rd in the table with 53 points from their 34 matches.
- Alloa Athletic have won 7 of their 17 away League One games (Drawn 2, Lost 8).
- The Wasps have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5 and beat East Fife 2-0 at home in their previous outing, but they fell to a 1-0 defeat away to Hamilton Academical prior to that.
Head-to-Head
The last three meetings between these two sides have seen Alloa win once and two draws with the last encounter at Alloa finishing 0-0 .
Key Players
- Matthew Aitken leads the line for the hosts with 9 goals in 32 League One appearances and is an ever-present threat.
- Callum Burnside has the most goals for the Wasps with 9 in 24 appearances, however Luke Donnelly has scored 2 of Alloa’s last 5 goals and has added another dimension to their attack.
Betting Insights
- We think Stenhousemuir will have the edge in the long run, and home turf advantage should serve the hosts well.
- The odds on a Stenhousemuir win currently stands at 1.84 which is a little short, but there’s good value in the total score under 2.5 at 1.82 and both teams no goals bet at 1.94.
- We’re confident that at least one of these sides will keep a shutout in a cagey match, with the Wasps bagging 22 goals in 17 away games, so there is enough evidence to suggest that they can certainly threaten.
Prediction
We’re going for a Stenhousemuir 1-0 victory here.
